Summary
This project was undertaken to fulfill, in part, the project mitigation requirements stipulated in
the Memorandum of Agreement pertaining to the removal and replacement of the Redington
Street or Apthorp Bridge over the Ammonoosuc River in Littleton, New Hampshire, a National
Register eligible historic resource.
Harold Edward Langley was born in January 8, 1896 in Durham, New Hampshire and died
August 6, 1991, in Concord.1 He attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, graduating
in 1917. His WWI draft registration card, dated June 2, 1917, states his present trade as a farmer,
in the employ of his father Edward Langley. He apparently did not serve in WWI. In 1919 he
began his career with the New Hampshire Highway Department as a resident engineer. He was
promoted and served the Department as a Designer from 1922 to 1934, as Assistant Bridge
Engineer from 1935 to 1941, and as Bridge Engineer from 1942 to 1961. Langley designed at
least 368 bridges and structures for the Department during his tenure, as listed in the following
table, not counting design drawings that do not bear his initials or no longer exist.
As would be expected of his early designs during the 1920s, the majority are for relatively
simple short-span bridges including concrete slab bridges, I-beam stringer bridges with flat
concrete decks as well as so-called jack arch bridges with multi-arched concrete decks, and
concrete T-beam bridges. The rapid expansion of the road network called for hundreds of these
types of spans.
Langley corresponded with Arthur G. Hayden, originator of the concrete rigid frame bridge, and
based on the data, may have introduced that bridge type in New Hampshire in 1928 with a 22'
span carrying Crystal Lake Road over the Suncook River in Gilmanton (Gilmanton 149/061).
The Crystal Lake Road bridge remains in service and "not deficient" according to the 2012
NHDOT bridge inspection report.
Langley was comfortable with complex structural analysis that is reflected in the relatively long
span concrete rigid frame, reinforced concrete arch, steel truss and steel arch spans he designed.
He was a talented architectural draftsman with an eye for aesthetic proportioning. The Beecher
Falls Road Bridge over the Connecticut River, a 136'-span deck plate-girder-rib arch bridge,
received the Most Beautiful Steel Bridge of 1931 award from the American Institute of Steel
Construction (AISC).2 In 1937 Langley again earned first-place for Most Beautiful Bridge from
the AISC for the design of the Chesterfield-Brattleboro box-girder-rib arch over the Connecticut
River, also built after the 1936 flood. The award was given jointly to John W. Childs, Bridge
Engineer, and Harold E. Langley, Designing Engineer.
At the same time Langley designed the repairs to the landmark 1904 Walpole-Bellows Falls arch
bridge over the Connecticut River that was damaged by the 1936 flood and wrote an important
paper about the work (see following section). His design, in which the three-hinged arch was

temporarily converted to a tied arch and then shortened and raised, was highly praised by his
peers for its complexity, ingenuity and boldness.
During WWII Langley was responsible for the creative design of several bridges that utilized
non war-critical materials including wood and stone, as described in two articles written by him
and discussed below.
A detailed study and critique of his body of work was beyond the scope of this study but an
initial assessment suggests that he may have made the largest and perhaps the most significant
contribution to bridge building in New Hampshire during the first half of the twentieth century.

This comprehensive and technically detailed article describes the reconstruction of the
Bellows Falls steel arch bridge designed by J.R. Worcester and built in 1904.3 The bridge
was a noted engineering achievement at the time of its construction. It suffered critical
structural damage during the famous 1936 flood that was especially severe along the
Connecticut River. Langley provided a concise synopsis of the paper, reproduced in part
below:
The three-hinged, open-web, steel, arched highway bridge between the Towns of Walpole,
N.H., and Bellows Falls, Vt., was one of the several crossings over the Connecticut River
that were seriously damaged during the spring flood of 1936. At the New Hampshire end of
the span, the lower chord sections and the adjacent web members of the upstream truss
below high-water level were so badly crippled that it was necessary to close the bridge to all
vehicular traffic; and the responsible authorities were compelled to decide between major
repairs to the structure and its replacement with a new one.
This bridge had been in service only since 1908, and the steelwork in general had been
carefully maintained so that a considerable expenditure for repairing the damage was
warranted. The consulting engineers who designed the structure were called upon to submit
a design for repairs. They formulated a general plan involving supports near each end, with
four along the interior of the arch, all supported on timber pile groups. Detailed plans were
prepared, and bids were taken for the work on this basis. The successful bid ($120,000)
included all operating hazards and was somewhat in excess of the anticipated costs. The
danger element involved in this undertaking was relatively high because a further accident to
the main span might not only result in the loss of the structure but would probably involve
difficulties at the Bellows Falls power plant, situated immediately below the bridge, which is
a main link in the electric power system that serves this region. In studying the situation the
Bridge Division of the New Hampshire State Highway Department decided that it was more
feasible for the State to assume the risks incident to this extra-hazardous procedure than the
contractor. To do this it was necessary to let the fabrication and erection contract on a "cost-
plus" basis to a competent structural steel contractor who would cooperate with the State
forces in driving the piles and placing the concrete.
In consultation with the contractor's engineers a study was made to eliminate some of the
more hazardous features of the undertaking by keeping the river as clear of falsework as the
condition of the structure would admit. Accordingly, a plan was devised incorporating the
use of temporary cable ties to take the horizontal thrust of the arch, thus converting the span

Engineers, March 1908, pp. 253-280.

temporarily into a tied three-hinged arch to be carried on falsework towers near the original
supports. With the falsework at the ends of the span it could not only be protected, if
necessary, from floating ice by means of ice breakers or fenders extending out from the river
banks, but it could be constructed from the shores as well.
The use of temporary cable ties and other features introduced in this work seem somewhat
unusual, and it is believed that a description of the procedure followed will be of interest to
engineers and contractors generally.
This paper is particularly valuable in that it is illustrated with nine photographs and eight
figures that show in detail the structural damage caused by the flood and the reconstruction
techniques. The methods of rigging the ties and bracing, falsework, and hydraulic jacking
system are described and illustrated in clear and adequate detail to enable others to duplicate
the procedure.
The co-author, E.J. Ducey, Designing Engineer with American Bridge Company (Pittsburgh,
Pa.) was a professional engineer with B.S and M.S. degrees in civil and structural engineering.
He was the erection expert at American Bridge, in charge of design and checking of erection
schemes for many of the company's largest bridge projects. He is credited with the
development of several modern methods of bridge erection. His additional expertise in the
control of erection stresses by means of continuous truss action over adjustable erection
towers and his methods for the rational analysis of flexible arch ribs, made him the obvious
choice for this most complicated and dangerous repair undertaking.4
The significance of the repair project in both practical and engineering terms is noted in the
discussion of Langley's paper by other engineers:
J.B. French: "The work described in this paper shows boldness and resourcefulness in
planning and much skill and constant alertness in the supervision of its execution." "Work of
this kind, like foundations and structural frames hidden from view by subsequent
construction, and all falsework and temporary structures for purely erection purposes
constitute and important part of engineering construction; detailed descriptions of such work,
such as are given in this paper, are always valuable contributions to the publications of this
Society."
L.D. Rights: Rights was one of the original designing engineers of the bridge and author of
the paper describing the design and construction of this seminal steel arch structure.5 His
comments were somewhat critical of what he considered the overly cautious methods used in
the bracing and falsework systems. He assumed them to be costly and wanted more cost data
on the project. "All this does not in the least detract from the high praise due the engineers
for the skill whereby the span was shortened from 540 ft to 486 ft and the spring-line pins
raised 17 ft. The success of their scheme is the result of bold design, careful planning and
constant care.

Conde B. McCullough: "Congratulations are due the authors, not only on a most coherent
presentation, but also on an exacting piece of reconstruction, efficiently and safely
performed." … "It is gratifying indeed to see a 'repair job' of this character accorded the
distinction of a detailed technical write-up." McCollough goes on with several examples of
his own experience on the subject of repairing and jacking bridges and control of the stresses
in the structure when doing so.
H. M. Nelson: Nelson was Hydraulic Engineer for New England Power Service Company of
Boston, owners and operators of the Bellows Falls hydroelectric plant immediately
downstream of the bridge. He gives an eyewitness account of the flood and damage to the
bridge caused by a huge ice jam upstream that broke free and collided with the bridge. He
estimated that the "ice cake' that hit the bridge was on average 21 inches thick, over a quarter
acre in area, weighing over 500 tons and traveling at about 4 miles per hour. "The impact
caused the entire structure to vibrate so violently that the writer, who was leaning over the
sidewalk railing to observe, was thrown to the floor." Nelson commends the authors for
rejecting the first plan of repair that called for placing a large number of pile bent supports in
the river channel, and for "an ingeniously designed bridge-repair project completed under
difficult river and weather conditions."
H.E. Langley: Langley's response to the various questions and comments made in the
discussion adds substantially to the overall content, and considers "the costs of the various
parts of the work, together with some of the more important reasons for adopting the scheme
used in making the repairs." Langley noted that "the authors gained considerable satisfaction
from the discussions," particularly those by McCullough who evidently gave it a very careful
read, and by Nelson who provided invaluable information on the character of the flood and
ice floes and their effect on the structure. He notes that the original scheme for the repairs
called for the erection of six temporary wooden towers to support the arch trusses during
removal of the damaged ends and reconstruction of the abutments. He provides a detailed
cost analysis of that option along with the liabilities that made it impractical. A table listing
each work item and their individual cost is provided.

Harold Langley contributed to the discussion of Garrelts' paper which presented a procedure
of mathematical analysis used in the design of the 540'-span tied arch bridge carrying the
DuPont Highway over the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal at St. Georges, Delaware.
Professor Garrelts, an Associate Professor of Civil Engineering at Columbia University and
Designing Engineer for Waddell & Hardesty, states, "Although the bridge type is not new,
having been used in Europe, it is believed that the design introduces a new type to American
practice."
H.E. Langley Annotated Bibliography Page 7
Langley's discussion, as with that of most others, begins with complimentary statements
regarded the valuable contribution Garrelts paper makes to the engineering profession. He
then questions, like almost all the other discussers, some of the finer details or lack of details,
in Garrelts' presentation of his analysis. Langley flatly states that based on his experience
with the design of two large arches of 425-foot span in New Hampshire – one a tied arch –
"if he were called upon to design a similar structure [of such unusual proportions] he would
apply the deflection theory" [instead of the elastic theory that was used]. Several of the other
discussions were much more severe in their criticism of Garrelts methods and in his response
he addresses them one by one, in some cases simply saying he may have omitted some
details of the analysis because they could be considered obvious. In addressing Langley's
comments, he says "Mr. Langley's statement regarding formulas based on the deflection
theory already seems to have been answered by Mr. Freudenthal and Mr. Gronquist. In this
self-tied structure the deflection theory agrees with the analysis given because the arch rib
and tie girder deflect the same amount."

Span Steel Bridges, 2nd edition. New York: McGraw-Hill Book Company, 1943.
In 1943 Langley co-authored the revisions for the second edition of the well-known
engineering textbook Movable and Long-Span Steel Bridges, (1923) one of six volumes of
McGraw-Hill's Structural Engineers' Handbook Library, written by Hool and Kinne,
engineering professors at the University of Wisconsin.
Roy Richard Zipprodt undertook the revision of the Hool and Kinne text for the publisher
while serving in the War Department as the Principal Civil Engineer of the Office of the
Quartermaster General. Prior to his wartime service, Zipprodt was Associate Structural
Engineer at the US Bureau of Standards, and Associate Professor of Civil Engineering at
Columbia University prior to that. In the preface, he "acknowledges the continued and very
helpful collaboration of his associate, Mr. H. E. Langley, and thanks all others who have in
any way contributed to the preparation of this, the Second Edition." How Zipprodt and
Langley knew each other or were "associated" at the time could not be determined.
The preface states, "Steel Arch Bridges, Section 7, contains new material pertaining to good
examples of recent steel arches." Comparing the two editions, three additional pages were
added to the chapter to provide photos and descriptions of the Rainbow Arch Bridge at
Niagara Falls and the Chesterfield NH -Brattleboro VT Bridge and the Orford NH–Fairlee
VT Bridge, both spanning the Connecticut River.
The two New Hampshire bridges were included as examples of two-hinged (Chesterfield-
Brattleboro) and tied-arch (Orford-Fairlee) construction. Each was designed under the same
specifications, for the same loading, the same span, the same type of deck, and construction
H.E. Langley Annotated Bibliography Page 8
was started on both in the same year, 1936. Both bridges have box girder type ribs, a span of
425 ft. pin to pin, a rise of 85 feet and a clear roadway width of 24 feet.
Further details of the bridge designs and the erection methods are given. Finally the cost are
compared, showing the tied arch to be considerably more expensive than the two-hinged
type: The Orford tied arch required 970 tons of steel; the total cost of the bridge was
$231,200 of which $153,000 represented the superstructure. The Chesterfield two-hinged
arch required 750 tons of steel; the total cost of the bridge was $202,000 of which $135,000
represented the superstructure.
In 1937 Langley shared the first-place award for the "Most Beautiful Steel Bridge of the
Year" from the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) for the design of the
Chesterfield-Brattleboro box-girder-rib arch over the Connecticut River, built in the wake of
the 1936 flood. The award was given jointly to John W. Childs, NHHD Bridge Engineer, and
Harold E. Langley, Designing Engineer. The Orford span, later named the Samuel Morey
Memorial Bridge, designed by Harold E. Langley and John H. Wells, received “Honorable
Mention.”
[4] Langley, H. E. "Pre-Framed Timber Bridges in New Hampshire." Roads and Streets,
April 1943, pp. 44-46.
During 1941-42, to conserve war-critical materials, the NHHD designed (and built) two stone
arch bridges and several wooden superstructure bridges with spans lengths between 20 to 65
feet. Simple stringer spans were used for spans under 30 feet; over 30 feet deck or pony
trusses were used, all with 24' clear roadways width and H-15 loading. Langley submitted
this article to Roads and Streets Magazine to share information on the fabrication and
erection methods and costs.
During the fall of 1941, bridge engineers at the New Hampshire State Highway Department
determined that the structural steel shapes and reinforcing steel needed for bridges to be built
in 1942 would be unavailable. In 1941 there were approximately 900 bridges on the state
highway system, of which 150 were rated as substandard for civilian traffic and "a somewhat
larger number for military traffic." The majority of the bridges fell in the span length of 20 to
70 feet. Non-critical materials available were mass concrete, stone and timber. Of the steel
hardware required for the timber bridges, "timber connector rings, bolts nuts, washers and
spikes, only the rings were purchased, all other items were fabricated from existing stock by
the Highway maintenance shops or salvaged. A program of salvaging and straightening used
spikes was inaugurated."
The timber truss bridge designs were based on use of a good grade of native hemlock with
built-up members required for floor beams. For the stringer bridges, southern yellow pine
timbers were salvaged from a dismantled mill building and resawn to the required
dimensions.
H.E. Langley Annotated Bibliography Page 9
Langley discusses the erection methods that utilized a small truck crane and the existing
bridges that were being replaced. Costs are also discussed in detail. For example, the 65-foot
span timber pony truss bridges were built at a total cost of $35 per linear foot including
timber, hardware, equipment rental and labor.
[5] Langley, H. E. "New Hampshire Timber Bridges Rebuilt." Engineering News-Record,
January 27, 1944, pp. 138-139.
In this short article accompanied with three photos, Langley describes the repairs made to
wood covered bridges in the state done entirely by state highway department forces under his
direction. Due to wartime demands for the state's forest products, logging trucks subjected
many of the bridges to loads of 15 tons or more. Dating from the 19th century, the structures
were capable for loads of only 4 to 6 tons. Coupled with the deterioration, the overloading
damaged members and distorted the structures out of alignment.
The article focuses on the repairs to the covered bridge over the Pemigewasset River in the
town of Woodstock, a 182-foot span lattice truss combined with laminated arches. The
bridge was raised off its abutments by jacking and supported on three sets of timber
falsework consisting of framed pile bents. Deteriorated members were cut out and replaced
or spliced as required, the entire structure realigned, rebraced, lowered onto the abutments
and back in service in 15 weeks. The repairs were done by a maintenance department crew
that varied from four to eight men, at a total cost of $9,000 including materials and labor.
Langley notes that due to depletion of the department's younger men for war service, all of
the workers with one exception were over 50 years of age.
[6] "Talk by H.E. Langley, March 27, 1951." Society for the Preservation of Covered
Bridges, Bulletin No. 7. Xerox copy of article with no date or publisher, on file at New
Hampshire Division of Historical Resources, Concord.
In 1951, Harold E. Langley, Bridge Engineer for the New Hampshire Highway Department,
discussed several covered bridges in which he was involved, including the Stark Covered Bridge,
in a talk before the Society for the Preservation of Covered Bridges. In his presentation, Langley
"discussed the causes for bridge deterioration, the means to remedy it, and the numerous
problems involved when old bridges are subjected to modem heavy traffic."
Langley made general several points relevant to all covered bridges which are reproduced in full
below for the insight they provide on the engineer's perspective of covered bridge problems at
that time.
Covered bridges are [often] neglected by the towns until they get into such a state of
disrepair that communities are no longer able to afford to put them in shape… they call for
help from the state, and the state engineer inspects them and very often he finds it necessary to
condemn bridges that could easily be saved if given earlier attention…
H.E. Langley Annotated Bibliography Page 10
The weak point in most of the old covered bridges is the floor system. This often
deteriorates because the side covering of the bridge is neglected, allowing rain to pelt through
on to the floor. In almost any old bridge, there is an inch or more of accumulated dust and dirt.
When this is dampened by rain, decay sets in.
The engineer sometimes finds floors weakened because the towns, in repairing, have turned
the floor beams over instead of replacing them. In looking for trouble, he examines the floor
and bottom chord first, and especially the condition of the sills, which may carry decay to the
chord.
Occasionally trouble is found in the "trunnels", or wooden pegs, that hold the parts of a
bridge together. Dry rot may appear in the center of the pin. In replacing these, a new type of
steel ring, known as a Teco Connector, is sometimes used. This is so constructed that the holes
do not grow longer and larger, as with a simple steel pin once tried out for the purpose, and the
stresses and strains of moving traffic are less liable to do injury to the members.
Two additional publications that were not authored by Langley but discuss notable bridges that
he designed:
[7] Childs, John W. "New Hampshire Bypass Road Requires Unusual Structure."
Engineering News-Record, August 27, 1931, pp. 331-332.
John W. Childs was Bridge Engineer for the NHHD and Langley's boss. Langley assumed
the position when Childs retired in 1942. Childs article was about the design features of the
U.S. Route 3 Bridge over the Suncook River between the towns of Allenstown and
Pembroke, New Hampshire, a seven-span multi-type highway bridge with an overall length
of 394 feet. Plans indicate that H.E. Langley was the principal designer. The bridge was
replaced in 2005 and documented to HAER standards (NH-578). The main span of the bridge
over the river was a two-level riveted steel triangular truss of the modified Warren truss type.
The truss span was 148' in length, with roadway decks carried on the upper and lower chords.
The other six spans served as approaches to the upper level of the main span and consisted of
two 40' steel girder deck spans, one at each end of the bridge; three 50' steel girder deck
spans over roadways; and one 12' reinforced concrete slab deck span.
The bridge was significant for its unique design that combined a high-speed bypass bridge on
the upper deck and a low-speed local-access bridge on the lower deck with an unusual
arrangement of access ramps and approaches. It was an early example of bypass or “thru-
way” planning and design and regarded as a creative design solution for a difficult site.
Childs called the project "exceptional in the complexity of the hazards done away with and in
the expense of the structures required, one of which is a two level bridge separating the
roadways of intersecting highways." The article includes a detailed description of the design
and costs accompanied by plan, elevation and section drawings.

[8] Gallagher, E. F. "Brick Facing Applied to New Hampshire Highway Bridge."
Engineering News-Record, December 12, 1935, p. 813.
Ernest Francis Gallagher was Manager-Engineer of the New England District of the Brick
Manufacturers Association of America, based in Worcester, Massachusetts. The purpose of
the article was evidently to promote the use of brick in bridge building. Gallagher describes
the architectural treatment given to a 38'-span concrete rigid frame bridge carrying NH 27
over the Lamprey River in the town of Epping. Two photos of the bridge, an elevation and a
detail of the parapet railing are provided in the one-page article. The bridge (Epping 051/053)
was built in 1935 by the NHHD and was designed by H.E. Langley with brick facing for
aesthetic reasons. All surfaces of exposed concrete except the underside were faced with
locally manufactured waterstruck brick. The solid parapet railings are brick faced and capped
with granite; the narrow sidewalks are paved with brick in a basket-weave bond and edged
with granite curbing. The flat arch of the span – typical of rigid frame bridges of the period –
was faced with soldier and header courses to give the appearance of a natural brick arch. The
brick was bonded to the concrete "using heavy copper ties placed 18 in. on centers
horizontally and every fourth course vertically." Epping was the center of brick
manufacturing in New Hampshire at the time. The contractor was Lane Construction Co. of
New Haven, Connecticut; Clayton Chase was resident engineer for the state.
